Lauren Jauregui Debuts Video for "Expectations," Her First Solo Single

She's the latest Fifth Harmony alumni to fly solo.

Another member of Fifth Harmony is venturing out on her own. But it might not be long before she's joined at the top of the charts by one of her former bandmates. On Wednesday, Lauren Jauregui followed in Camila Cabello and Normani's footsteps and released her debut solo single, "Expectations," plus an accompanying music video.

The song marks a departure from the club-ready anthems that helped make 5H one of the biggest pop acts of the decade. Instead, Lauren opts for the sounds of a hazy electric guitar wrapped around producer Kid Harpoon's brooding R&B beat. But what really stands out among the sparse production is Lauren's soaring voice — the girl can sing. The dramatic black-and-white video depicts two versions of the singer: one clad in white, and the other in black. The clip culminates with the darker version of Lauren confronting her lighter side and performing a sizzling dance routine as the guitar churns.

"'Expectations' is an exploration of when you're in a relationship with someone and you don't want to have expectations," she recently told Billboard. "But they kind of get in the way, regardless, so it's about that."

She also addressed the newfound agency she has over her career in a recent interview with W. "This time around, I was so adamant about it being my vision, my voice, and my energy being given to the creative process," she said. "I've been very vocal about that, and thank God the label has been very supportive of that and has been very dope about that. I really didn't consider that I need to be any type of way for anybody. I'm taking this as my first attempt to be myself. We're all doing that all the time — it never really stops — but this is me figuring out me right now, with no boundaries."
